I’m planning on being there Saturday. Photo at noon at the Watt’s tent as in years past?

Dave

I love it when a plan comes together!  Excellent progress!

That’s too bad it didn’t work out Brad. 
The material supplier my Dad worked for was a predominately Mack fleet, until they started buying front discharge mixers. I believe most of those were Oshkoshes.
 

Seems as if I remember him saying the contractors were demanding the front discharge rigs so if you wanted to play in their sandbox you had to have them. 

They did find that they could get around sites better with the all wheel drive than a standard rear discharge trucks. Problem became that when they did got stuck they really got stuck!

Dave

How’d it work out Brad?  When you first posted about the truck you sounded pretty positive about it. 
 

Dave

Noticed that you haven’t posted in over a week Skippy. Hope all is well with you and the family and that you’ve just been too busy with the project to post. 
Dave

Hope everything goes well Monday Joey and they are able to help you resolve this quickly. 
Dave

Sorry to hear of your loss OD. I’m very fearful of our dogs getting out into the road. 
I’m sure Ollie is with Other Dog barking about you and sharing stories. 

Looks like you have a nice collection of signs Mike. 

The cab/hood looks to be as long as the bed!  
 

Makes me wonder if @hurstscrambler has made any more progress with his 210....

Dave

Thank you for your efforts Terry!

Dave

How are you feeling this morning Joey?  

Good morning Joey. How are you feeling today?

Has your wife been spared so far?  I fear that if either my wife or I get it the other won’t be far behind.

Dave

Thank you for sharing your experience Joey. Hope that you continue to feel better every day!

Dave

If you’re looking to put her to work you might see if the local mulch suppliers are looking for truckers. You will most likely max out on volume before you get close on weight. My Dad worked for one back in the day and they could never get enough trucks, especially in the spring. 
Looking forward to more updates. 
Dave

I had to go take another look at the photos to see where Mark came up with the JDM reference as I didn’t see the telltale dark green. then I didn’t see the mud flap....

Is the dump body an open back rock body of some sort Mike?  Kinda looks that way with the apron angle and the chain hung mud flaps. 
 

To your point Mark I wonder if John Haines’s kids, will ever restore a 2020 Kenworth as a piece of company history.

We lived north side of Brockton,  the plow truck was down next to AA Will's pit in Canton, he made it as far as as Will's yard in Stoughton and had to turn back. He did end up disappearing for a few days on snow removal though. 

Where did you live in Stoughton?

We lived off Morton Street, not too far off 138. I remember driving by Will and A.A Will when we would head north to see my grandparents. Seems as if there was a Case dealer along there closer up to 128 too...

Great memories!

Dave

I was only 6 at the time living in Stoughton, MA.  I remember my Dad telling stories of sleeping on store shelves at the Mall in Braintree, MA during the Blizzard.  He was in truck sales at the time and plowed on the side for one of his customers - P. Caliacoo out of Quincy.  At one point they sent out a loader to blaze a trail for the fuel truck to get to the fuel depot but then the loader ran out of fuel before they got there and they had to send another loader to finish the trip.  

Dave

You can hear it from a country mile!

So sorry to hear of your husband’s passing Catherine. Very generous of you to attempt to contact Erin to give her the photos. 
 

If you have the ability to post a photo or scan of the photos here I’m sure everyone would enjoy seeing them as the group lives photos!

Dave

Just imagine the stories those pieces could tell!

 Thank you for sharing the photos. 
 

Dave

Is the Mack-Savage still in the fleet Brad?  
 

Truckfinder’s HMM would be an interesting addition to the fleet, just say’n...

DavCut

Thank you for the additional photo nicste!  Always nice to see an old dog at work.

Thank you for the link Swishy.  Looks as if Sachal does some very interesting fabrication.

Dave

That's quite the boat trailer your pulling in your avatar!  Might need to see a larger version of that photo...
